Quick answer: Combat is tied to story progression and Town recovery. Prepare before the designated battle day: finish equipment, place defenses and confirm the squad rather than arriving with an incomplete production order.

What is confirmed

  • Official material shows barricades, towers, crafted weapons and undead squads.
  • Town battles are available on a designated weekday.
  • Steam achievements track a first battle, battle items and later Town progress.
  • Check the day and active win condition.
  • Craft the required battle items before leaving the workshop.
  • Use the placement area to prepare fortifications.
  • Keep a save before a major story battle.

What not to assume

Official sources establish the combat structure, not a complete enemy-stat table. Exact damage and best-unit rankings are omitted until verified.
